I feel like I've announced that I am quitting at least 50 times, but then I fail after only a couple of days or whatever. It makes me feel like a big failure, like look at me saying I'm gonna do this thing and it never gets done, what a loser I must be, why am I even trying anyways? Social workers say that one of the most helpful steps to quitting is announcing that you are quitting....but I don't see how if it makes me feel shittier when I fail than if I hadn't said anything. There's a lot less pressure and pressure is one of the things that makes me want to smoke in the 1st place. I'm quitting today for the gazillionth time, I'll probably fail again because I don't handle stress very well (nevermind my like 10 different mental illnesses) and there is definitely significant amounts of stress in my life on a nearly daily basis and there isn't really anything I can do about it.
